A government that does not protect its
women and children is either weak or
rotten. And no State nor Republic can
give this protection while it upholds and
perpetnates the saloon.
A t. ;. Senator has lately discovered
that the country would be imperiled by an
emotional ballot in the hands Of women.
Ii is ''Woman's part in the war" to declare
that the country is now in peril from a
whiskey ballot in the hands of men.

Home, sweet Home

1t is said, when darkness settles over the
Adriatic Sea and fishermen are far from
land. their wives and daughters, just be-
fore putting out their lights in their humble
cottages, go down by the shore and in their
clear. sweet voices sing the fist lines of the
Ave Maria. Then they listen eagerly and
across the sea are borne to them the deep
tones OF those they love, singing the strains
that follow, and thus each knows that all
is well. | often think that from the home
life of the nation, from its mothers and
sisters, daughters and sweethearts, there
sounds through the darkness Of this transit
ton age, the tender notes Of dearer song
whose burden is being taken up and echo
ed back to us from those far out amid the
pillows Of temptations, and its sacred
words are CLONE. sweet Home" God
grant that deeper and more strong may
grow that heavenly chorus from mems and
womcn's lips and liyes.-Frances h. WI

spring, it may interest you 10 know that
you can get 81 worth Of northern grown
seeds Of your own selection free by sub
scribmg for Tie Hostsekeepe1, Minneapolis,
Mimi, at the regular price 81 per year.
These seeds were grown in Minnesota and
Dakota, by the well-known house of
Northrup, Braslan & Co., and will pro-
duce much earlier, and more vigorous
plants than seeds grown further south.
One trial-and it costs you nothing to try
will convince you Of this fact and you
will never again use any but northern

"What we need is faith to believe that

"Womans part in the war against the

was otherw Use defenseless. The Crusade
was woman's long smothered sob break

This protest, strong and strange, was or

In studying this problem women have
not seen it from the angle Of self-indul-
gence over wine-glass or political expe-
dicncy, that saves a party and slaughters
the right. They have sought the truth in

Alcohol In Food.

Not long ago man who had been
''hard drinker" in his youth told me that
after five years of total abstinence from all
Intoxicating drinks the old thirst for liquor
came over him as soon as he smelled the
brandy in the pudding sauce at a table
where he was an invited guest. ''Call it
weakness if you WILL he said, "but
dared not touch that sauce. | knew that
the taste of the brandy would steal my
senses away, that the maddening thirst for
drink would again overpower my will, and
the work of years be undone in an instant
My only hope was in total abstinence and
| knew it. As It was, ! had hard fight
to get bya saloon that night on my way
home, and once home asked my sister to
lock me in my room until could feel sure
of myself again.-IHe Ohio Farmer
God has 50 ordered that at the incoming

Him at the dooi, she has built into the lit
lie, fragile, undeyeloped mass all the forces
of life. Through her this miracle will ever
be repeated. All the possibilities of hui
manity lie plastic in her hands. Every
mother recognizes these facts; she may not
have thought them out in this fashion, but
to every one comes sense of the unfath-
enable mystery, in which she realizes
the truth, that, somehow, God and she are
very near to each other, and a sense OF a new
and holy commission dawns upon the youth
ful mother until something of divine grace
shines forth in her countenance, and new
